A teacher in a school in the Sudan let the students name a class teddy bear. The students chose “Mohammed.” The teacher is now in custody for this outrage:
Mohammed is sacred to Islamic philosophy and the penalty for blasphemy is 40 lashes, a large fine or a jail term. The British Embassy in Khartoum confirmed the arrest.
A source close to the school said one teacher was angered by the naming of the teddy bear and complained to the headmistress.
Ms Gibbons was a deputy headteacher at Liverpool’s Dovecot Primary School from 2002 to this July when she left for Sudan.
Her MP, Louise Ellman, told Sky News: “This is very worrying. I understand Ms Gibbons is a very respected person, she is held in the highest regard and is seen as a person of the highest integrity.
“I’m in touch with the Foreign Office and it’s right that they should be working hard to bring about a positive end.”
Obviously, this is the Religion of PeaceTM. Hopefully, they can get this woman out of there before they start lashing her.
